**NEWS FROM EMS COMMITTEES**

**Executive Committee**

The Executive committee held its first meeting of the year on 10-11 March in Copenhagen, the first meeting with new President Jan Philip Solovej in the Chair. A report from this meeting will follow in a future edition of the EMS Magazine. A report from the previous October 2022 meeting can be [read in the latest edition of the magazine (link).](https://euromathsoc.org/magazine/articles/121)


**Committee for Applications and Interdisciplinary Relations (CAIR)**

- A CAIR proposal to establish a prize for mathematical software, as a joint prize of the EMS and ECMI (European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry) has been approved by the ECMI council as well as by the EC of the EMS. The Lanczos prize for mathematical software is expected to be awarded for the first time at the 9ECM Congress in Sevilla in 2024.

**Abel Prize**

We congratulate Luis A. Caffarelli who has won the 2023 Abel Prize _“for his seminal contributions to regularity theory for nonlinear partial differential equations including free-boundary problems and the Monge–Ampère equation.”_ [More information here (link).](https://abelprize.no/abel-prize-laureates/2023)

**Fermat Prize - call for nominations**

The Fermat Prize rewards the research of mathematicians in the fields:

- statements of variational principles 
- foundations of the calculus of probabilities and of analytic geometry
- number theory.

Its spirit is to recognise results which are accessible to the greatest number of professional mathematicians. Since 1989, The Fermat Prize is awarded every two years by the Institute of Mathematics of Toulouse, under the aegis of Université Paul Sabatier. The call for nominations for the 2023 prize is open now, with a deadline of 30 June 2023. [More information here (link).](https://www.math.univ-toulouse.fr/en/activites/prix-fermat/)

EMS Magazine No. 127, is out now!

European Congresses of Mathematics (ECM) are organized every four years. The first ECM
was held in Paris in 1992, and since then they have been held in Budapest, Barcelona,
Stockholm, Amsterdam, Krakow, Berlin, and Portorož. The next congress will be held [15-19 July 2024 in Seville (link).](https://www.ecm2024sevilla.com/)

Initially only outline bids are invited, giving a clear idea of the proposal and possible sources of financial and local support. The Executive Committee of the EMS will consider the bids received and invite one or more to be set out in greater detail. The deadline for such "worked up" bids will be 31 October 2023.

Anyone interested is welcome to discuss informally with the EMS President.  [Please click through for more information (link).](https://directus.backend.euromathsoc.org/assets/20411eba-4d85-4ca8-81d2-5c517fd0fa9f)

Call for Bids for the 10th European Congress of Mathematics

Thirty early career European mathematicians, spanning 18 countries and representing a broad spectrum of research fields have been elected to the first cohort of EMYA. They held an inaugural online meeting on 6th March 2023. The list of current members can be found on the [EMYA webpage (link)](https://euromathsoc.org/EMYA-list2023).

Each member is invited to serve for four years, and at full scale EMYA will have 120 members. EMYA provides a platform the next generation of mathematicians to debate and plan for the future of European mathematics, to organise activities through the EMS, and to advise the EMS on its actions and priorities.

More details about EMYA, including the procedures and timeline for future nominations and selection, is available on the [EMYA webpage (link)](https://euromathsoc.org/EMYA). 

Everyone at the EMS is grateful to the new EMYA members for their willingness to serve, and is excited to start working with them in support of the wider European mathematical community.

Statement from EMS President

The new centre is supported by founding donor XTX Markets, and welcomes approaches from other companies, research centres, institutes, funding agencies and foundations who may wish to become partners.

The coordination committee comprises a number of eminent mathematicians of Ukrainian origin including 2022 Fields medallist Maryna Viazovska, while the centre's International Advisory Board includes the former EMS Presidents Jean-Pierre Bourguignon and Pavel Exner. 

The first support meeting for the centre was [hosted at IHES in France (link)](https://www.ihes.fr/icmu-12janvier2023/) on 12 January, in the presence of Mykhailo Podolyak (Adviser to the Chief of Staff of the President of Ukraine) and Claire Giry (Director General of Research and Innovation at the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research). Six Fields medallists were also present, representing the broad support of the mathematical community.

New Centre for Mathematics in Ukraine

I am excited and honored to take up the presidency of the EMS as we now enter 2023. Today, the EMS is a very active and professional organization that works to unite the mathematical community in greater Europe. I hope to be able to continue this important work for the benefit of European mathematics, and I hope to do so both within the community but also to reach a broader audience within society at large. I would like for EMS to be an instrument for increasing the visibility of mathematics in all its diversity. One particularly important aspect of the EMS is the publishing house EMS Press. It is a real pleasure to see how EMS Press has developed into a significant society publisher offering a viable alternative to the large commercial publishers.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank the outgoing President Volker Mehrmann as well as the former vice president Betül Tanbay and the former treasurer Mats Gyllenberg. They, together with the rest of the Executive Committee, have guided the EMS through difficult times. I am thinking especially of the pandemic and the many international conflicts we are currently facing. They also worked very hard to increase the engagement of members in the work of the EMS. The EMS is both a society of societies and has individual members. I am really looking forward to continuing the efforts to engage both institutional, as well as individual members more in the work of the society to the benefit of the mathematical community in Europe. I hope you as members will join me in this effort and I wish you all a happy and, hopefully, less troubled new year.
